My carex gets very big and I have had to move plants about to make room as it seems to take over. I have lots of little ones about as well. I have dug them up in autumn and have a row waiting to re-plant somewhere else. I have tried splitting them I think it was only the good sized clumps that took, but that may have been the conditins I had in the previous house, and not really looking after the bits as we moved. _ You can only give it a go
Ok thank you Rosa for that...so do you cut them down at all in the spring? I have another grass which I know the name of and the care instructions suggest to cut it down in the spring to encourage new growth and just wondered if this was the case with all or most of them. Perhaps I should put this question out in the plants forum to see if anyone has any further advice. You never know we both could learn something about our plants
Glad I only sowed 4 seeds early on! Have sown a few more which are just peeping through but hopefully it will be warm enough for them to move to greenhouse before they take over
Hi Gardengirl, I've got some sweet peppers, tumbling tomatoes (the bigger plants in the picture) and some San Marzano tomatoes, cucumber (an outside variety "La Diva"), some marigolds and nasturtium which are good companions and some Helichrysum (Everlasting Flowers) and Alyssum. Have still got to do some runner beans and sweet peas but am running out of indoor space
Son bought me the diddy greenhouse about 2 years ago from Ikea.
hi i love seeing other people plants and gardens, i have a new garden but managed to get hubby to build a pergoda, i have put a rambling rose albertine one side and a clematic Mrs chomledy , might not have spelt that right the other, i will plant sweet peas this year to fill in some colour, just need the current bun to shine??

Hi there tattiana
My carex gets very big and I have had to move plants about to make room as it seems to take over. I have lots of little ones about as well. I have dug them up in autumn and have a row waiting to re-plant somewhere else.

Bev, hope your babies are happy. What sort of plants do you have there?

Bev - your babies are looking good
Mine are taking over the conservatory - especially the monster courgettes - FEED ME NOW springs to mind

Caz look great like the GH, courgette look nice size, what are you growing?
